“When you touch me, I’m lost to you.”
“You’re never lost, Catherine. I’ll always find you.”
- Workplace romance
- Ex-military hero
- Single POV (last chapter in male POV)
Well, this book starts with a bang (literally). Catherine catches her fiance cheating on her with her friend. What makes matters worse is they work for opposing PR firms pitching the same company… and he steals her pitch. Fortunately, she wins the account and is set to work alongside CEO Jackson, the stranger she bumped into at a bar that she couldn’t get out of her head.
Jackson instantly oozes confidence, while Catherine attempts to keep things professional. But it doesn’t take long for the lines to blur and for Jackson to convince Catherine to give things a go. I understood Catherine’s hesitation, considering her ex and her “daddy issues.” But Jackson was a charmer! He wasn’t afraid to tell her how much he liked her and what he wanted. Plus, he likes to dirty talk. SAY LESS.
The ending was dramatic and emotional and WHAT A CLIFFHANGER. I’m so glad I can move right onto Beholden.
Andi Arndt narrates the audiobook and she’s perfect, as per usual.
